I bought a strat knockoff kit, but it was missing the electronics- and other stuff I used to refurbish a genuine 79 Strat that I also own. ANYWAY the kit guitar need a few things, like paint for the body, so I sprayed it with the lefto er green silver flake motorcycle paint that I had from a restoration of a 1970 Yamaha CS3C and then gave it a new set of electronics-I upgraded to a HSH system that I bought on ebay. Will let everyone know what the results are from this imported pickguard and HSH pickups. Still need a few things -like a fixed bridge-I never can get a standard strat to stay in tune despite using heavy springs so fixed bridges for me. Will let everyone know what the outcome is from the imported electronics as soon as I get the funds together for the bridge system.

If you have the original bridge and want to save some money, just simply remove the springs and cut a solid wood block to wedge in and convert the bridge to a fixed bridge.

I did that trick on a yamaha electric that would never stay in tune.It really works

or you can just tighten the screws that hold the springsplate so that the tension is very tight. I did that to my sons along with adding 2 more springs.
